In Darfur, My Camera Was Not Nearly Enough

Former Marine Brian Steidle was in Sudan's Darfur region in September 2004 as one of three U.S. military observers for the African Union. In his position as an unarmed military observer in Darfur, Steidle found himself becoming a witness to the destruction of civilians. Mr. Steidle did not have much in the way of equipment with him as an AU monitor, but he had a camera, and he took hundreds and hundreds of photographs.

When Mr. Steidle returned to the United States from Darfur in early 2005, he began to speak out using his photographs.

take away their resources then offer food, $, etc to them if we arm them will they go raid that tribe over there, then do the same with that tribe over there and you got 2 tribes fighting amongst each other, especially bc most have children so what are you gonna do? let your baby starve, i doubt that!! until africans can learn to say 'screw you' to their demented govts and bond together and make something shake it will always be that way.

@420TheDudeAbides Is that how you rationalize and dismiss what youre seeing?

@alvindalvin Are human lives not worth the fucking change in your pocket?

[atheniandp]

@420TheDudeAbides No, because the rich allow it. Do you know a tiny minority controls 80-90 percent of the world's wealth? They are to blame.
